Most Valuable Ram To Be
Chosen Tonight At Banquet
Newton County Ram basket
ball players will attend a ban
quet tonight (Thursday) at
Henderson’s Restaurant on
Jackson Highway and the main
ingredient of the program will
center around the selection of
a “Most Valuable Player” on
this year’s team. The trophy to
be presented the player is spon
sored by the NCHS Key Club.
The local basketball team en
joved a banner year on the
hardwood with a record of 24
wins and only three losses. This
was undoubtedly the best over
all slate ever compiled by a
NCHS five in the 10-year his
tory of the school. |
In a final recap of the season
prepared by Coach Ronald
Bradley many interesting sta
tistics were brought to light
concerning the team and indivi
dual performances. ‘
In the 27 games, regular sea- |
son and tournament play, the
Rams scored 1,850 points for
an average per game of 68.5
points. The field goal shooting
percentage of the team aver
zged a good 38 pct. on 684 field
goals in 1,802 shots.
The high-scorer of the team
was Billy Dean Rutledge with
533 points for an average of
20.5 points per contest in which
he appeared. Other mosts in
cluded in the charts were: Most
offensive rebounds, in a single
game, Ed Hertwig, against Hart
County, 18; Most defensive re
bounds in a single game, Larry
Parnell, 16 vs Chamblee; Most
points scored in a single game,
Biliy Dean Rutledge, 33 against
Avondale; Most free throws in
a game, Bobby Mobley, 12 in
the East Hall game.
In team performance the
Rams victory over Headland
showed that the team shot an
a problem on your farm??

4-H'ers Strive to ““Make The Best Better”
This is National 4-H Club Week, (Feb 28-March 7) an
annual observance to shine a spotlight on accomplishments
of this nation’s 4-H Club members. Many of the top 4-H
accomplishments of the past year were achieved by Georgia
4-H'ers. Among other successes, Georgia had seven National
4-H winners.
Newton Countains are proud of the more than 500
boys, girls and leaders engaged in 4-H work.
Four-H Club work in Georgia is a part of the vouth
program of the Agricultural Extension Service, University
of Georgia College of Agriculture. It is conducted through
county agricultural and home demonstration agents and vol
unteer local workers. Good as the Georgia 4-H Club pro
gram is, Extension workers believe it can be better. They
accept the 4-H motto, “To Make the Best Better,” as a
personal challenge.
In fact, they recognize that the entire Extension program
can be improved. During the past year Extension workers
have quietly engaged in a lot of soul searching to determine
the scope and _esponsibility of the Cooperative Extension
Service Youth Development is one of the nine areas in which
Extension recognizes its responsibility for devoted service.
Heading up Extension’s own evaluation of its youth
program is none other than Georgia’s own Extension Direc
tor W. A. “Bill” Sutton, as chairman of the National Scope
Committee on Youth Development. This committee has
adopted 10 objectives to guide all Extension workers in
developing their total youth programs including 4-H. Dur
ing recent months Director Sutton has been presenting these
objectives to Extension workers over the nation in places
such as Chicago, Washington, D. C., Tucson, Arizona, and
Memphis, Tenn.
In connection with the observance of National 4-H Club
Week we want to present them here for the benefit of our
readers. Along with them we offer our congratulations for
'a job well done and best wishes for a greater Extension
youth program in Georgia.
The specific objectives are to help young people to:
1. Acquire knowledge, skills, and attitudes for a satis
fying home and family life;
2. Enjoy a useful work experience, together with the re
sponsibility and satisfaction of personal accomplishment;
3. Develop leadership talents and abilities to reach op
timum citizenship potentials;
4. Appreciate the values of research and learn scien
tific methods of making decisions and solving problems;
5. Develop an appreciation of the importance of scien
tific agriculture and home economics and their relation
ships to our total economy;
6. Explore careers related to agriculture and home eco
nomics and recognize need for a continuing education;
7. Appreciate nature, understand conservation and make
wise use of natural resources;
8. Develop traits of healthful living, purposeful recrea-
